In March of 1999 my 40 year old wife was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I had read Dr. Fuhrman's book a year before and remembered that this disease could be treated with fasting. I read the book again and then convinced my wife to read it. We were seeing a rheumatologist after the initial diagnosis who only offered up the conventional remedies such as prednisone. When I asked this doctor about a therapeutic fast she thought I had lost my mind. My wife tried drug therapy for about two weeks and then decided that we had nothing to lose but a few pounds! She weened herself from prednisone and the pain came roaring back. She made arrangements to fast at Dr. Furhman's clinic and did so for 12 days. The pain and symptoms are gone! This book has changed our lives. Life is about common sense and making the right choices! I'm just glad that I made the choice to read this book! God has blessed us.

Its a great book, I've read it cover to cover to make sure I get all the facts right. It really makes you take a look at the food you used to eat and think was good for you. I bought the book to find a healthier way of eating because I'd always get stomach cramps and this book offered a natural way to combat this. It all basically makes sense that we should eat plant based foods but this book really hits home the problems that no one seems to realise is associated with eating processed foods and meats.
The only reason I knocked a star off, is because its really American. I mean I know the guy that wrote it is American so he refers to the American diet all the time but its also a tad repetitive, and uses obvious examples as if he thinks by giving someone a name its evidence his diet works.
It's really hard to convert quickly to a plant based diet as you have to almost re-educate yourself. I've been trying for a couple of weeks now so I can't tell you the long term benfits but I feel much better snaking on fruit than I do chocolate which now makes me feel a bit sick.
So if you want an informative book that gives you hard evidence as opposed to the quick fix miracle cure I would definitely recommend this book.

I have read every book I can find on fasting. This book is by far the best resource on fasting and proper eating than any other book I can find concerning this subject. This book has all their medical information backed up with references. I personally have followed their advice and have lost 26 pounds in 24 days and never felt better. Don't pass up this book unless you're not serious about fasting or losing weight.
